College Cooking: Feed Yourself and Your Friends [A Cookbook]

I have tried about half a dozen or so recipes from this book so far and most of them are really tasty. The book can be a little light on directions at times and some of the recipes are pretty time consuming, especially the first go-round. Overall, it's a very good book. There's a nice mix of foreign and domestic dishes, difficulty levels, and price points and the book is pretty well organized. The only major obstacle is that many of the dishes are made for 4-6 or more people and I'm only cooking for 2.

This book is very well done!There is an intro where they explain what you should always have in your pantry. What is very cool for someone who is gonna have to go grocery shopping for their apartment for the first time.I tried few recipes and they were delicious! They are also very cheap. I spend around $10 for each meal and I usually have left over for lunch the next day. It is perfect for college students!Also, there are tips on each page to stay healthy or even to save money. It is a perfect recipe book for me!

This is a great cookbook for anyone who is not interested in purchasing a ton of different ingredients (college student or not). The recipes are very easy to follow and everything I have made so far has tasted great. They also provide a lot of options and vegetarian alternatives with each recipe which is helpful when you want to alter your meals, but don't know how. Great buy!

Daughter bought this as a gift for friends heading off to college. Going to buy one for her too when she leaves next year! Very nice quality and useful recipes inside. Also, the tips were good, too. She loved it and was glad she made the purchase.

We got this for our daughter for Christmas, and it's been a huge hit with our daughter and her suite-mates. I would recommend this to anyone whose college kid deigns dining hall dinners as beneath them: LET THEM COOK FOOD! :-)

This book seems to think that college students are not very smart. Every recipe in here could be found easily online and seriously does not take into account that students that want to cook can follow directions for better recipes and that students who are lazy are just not going to cook in the first place or read a book about cooking.

Purchased this for my daughter because she is living in an apartment this semester instead of living in a dorm with a meal plan. She has only had the book for a week and has found several recipes she is excited to make!! The book has great photos of the dishes and is written in plain language, easy to understand with recipes that are 'do-able'.

I gave this cookbook to my college neice as a birthday gift. This is the second cookbook by these authors I have given her. She loves the antecdotes and the photos that accompany each recipe and I have been told the recipes are delicious! She enjoys testing new ones with her roommates and college friends on the weekends. So...it was a huge success!!azcowgirl

Muy buen libro de cocina, pero creo que es mejor si se considera para principiantes y para personas que ya tienen toda una cocina equipada. El problema que le veo es que aunque las recetas están dirigidas a "college students", sólo funcionarían para los que tengan cocinas completas, no es un libro práctico de cocina para el resto de los estudiantes.
